Appliance Tips:

1. Always clean your lint trap at least once a week. The lost airflow can increase drying time and in severe cases even present a fire hazard.

2. clean your washer hose screens at least once a year. a clogged screen will slow down your cold water flow and cause long rinse cycles while you wait for it to fill. new filter cones always point upstream, you can move screens to valve end if more easily accessed.

3. AC duct filters should be changed at least twice a year for both health and efficency.

4. refridgerator coils and maintenance area should be vacumed
every year and the drain hose examined for wear or clogs - you
will have water leaking pooling inside fridge and leaking out if drain clogs.

5. always stock surplus vacum bags for your model and replace them once half full. The unit becomes less efficent and can allow finer dust to escape once the pressure become concentrated on the remaining bag surface

Then there's the good habit of placing a drop cloth on the top of a washer to protect it before putting a meter there. Placing a quilt on the floor before turning a washer on its side or front and moving the appliance correctly by the cabinet and not by the console or exposed knobs (which can be damaged), are other examples of good work habits.
